Hi,
I have worked as a Graphic Designer for 15 years and as Lead Designer and Creative in the world of fashion for the last 5 years. Most recent clients are Creative Recreation, an L.A based inspirational footwear brand [login to view URL]. I have worked with a brilliant design team on the development of the apparel range for the UK, and continue to freelance and consult for the agency representing them in the UK.
Team leadership combined with hands-on design work and pressurised work environments are what I thrive on. I have worked on campaigns, both below and above the line and in print, web and event management. I recently played a large part in launching two successful UK fashion brands. I have a vey commercial approach to design, the study of demographics and trend analysis are key.
I still freelance and consult for them from here in Australia. Both brands are enjoying a positive reception and are selling well.
Despite this, I\'m really keen to work in a team environment again, and get behind some new brands and set myself some new goals, I’m very adaptable and enjoy all that my career has thrown at me. I\'m sure my experience would be of notable benefit to any company. I absolutely live and breathe design and fashion, if I had to list my strong points I\'d need to mention my aesthetic sensibilities, creative thinking, commerciality and people skills.
Thanks!
Zaal.
